+1 I always have chrome exhaust tips for the extra horsepower! Dual exhaust/tips doubles the effective gain. On a more serious note, IMHO, if the truck were newer, I'd swap the "pumpkin" (rear gear), if I did anything. However, running what you have may be the best - it would take a long time in gas savings to recoup any significant upgrades. Your mileage doesn't seem too far out of line. You have a serious truck and they just use a certain amount of fuel. |

All that said, a 3/4 ton truck of that vintage, you're probably wise to leave it alone.

I've tried several tuners. Improved mpgs a bit for daily driving but not for towing. When the throttle is wide open, it is wide open. I do still use a tune on my Chevy, partly for better daily mpg, partly because I like the differences it offers when I need to step on it, including when towing.
